Brief About The Project: 

The project seeks to represent essential periods of Palestine’s history in unconventional ways aiming to revive the Palestinian Collective Memory in which Palestinian struggle will be reflected through the use of spaces and architectural elements.

This project is a memorial that consists of memorial spaces, memory production workshops, library, art installations and an amphitheater. Moreover, the landscape forms a crucial part of this memorial in which memorial stations are integrated with the Palestinian landscape. The project is not exclusive to the memorial spaces but also a public hub.
